Continuous Testing Settings
Overview
You can access Continuous Testing settings on the Synthetic Monitoring Settings page.
By default, all your tests running in CI/CD pipelines run sequentially (one after the other). To change this behavior, set a parallelization value and save your selection.
Parallelization
Parallel tests are tests that run simultaneously in your continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines.
This ensures you can:
- Reduce pipeline duration and ship new features faster
- Increase development confidence and speed of delivery
- Have complete test coverage and reduce the volume of production-breaking bugs from reaching your codebase
Set parallelization
- Under Set your preferences, select the Parallelization option.
- Customize the parallelization you need based on how many tests you want to run in parallel.
- Click Save Selection.
- Confirm your selection.
Permissions
In order to customize the parallelization for Continuous Testing, you must have the billing_edit
permission.
Otherwise, the following error displays: You're missing edit permission for Continuous Testing settings. You can run your tests with a parallelization of X (up to X tests running at the same time at a given point during your CI). To increase this value, reach out to your administrator admin.email@datadoghq.com
For more information, see Datadog Role Permissions.
